Design Characteristics And Flexibility In University Buildings : Mosul University As A Case Study, Ali Haidar Aljameel, Raeed Salim Al-Nu'man
Design Characteristics And Flexibility In University Buildings : Mosul University As A Case Study, Ali Haidar Aljameel, Raeed Salim Al-Nu'man
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Flexibility is one of the principal factors in architecture to which a paramount significance must be attached. This significance gains more ground in contemporary life in which change accelerates in a tremendous speed, for today's design might not meet tomorrow's needs without shifts or modification and this applies to the University buildings more than any other buildings in comparison. However, by reviewing the theoretical hypotheses tackling this topic in architecture on the one hand, and critically analysing architecture research on it, on the other hand; it results that none of these hypotheses or investigations have adequately or clearly determined the …
Protractors For Predicting Natural Lighting Levels In Architectural Spaces For Clear Sky In Iraq, Miqdad Haidar Al-Jawadi
Protractors For Predicting Natural Lighting Levels In Architectural Spaces For Clear Sky In Iraq, Miqdad Haidar Al-Jawadi
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
This paper deals with providing architects with protractors for clear sky natural lighting in order to help them in predicting light levels in architectural spaces which occur from any size of right angle windows. The protractors, which had been designed by professor Hopkinson before 1964, available to architects at present are two protractors one for over-cast sky and another for virtual uniform sky- not quite true in reality-, as the calculation for clear skies had not been yet approved.In 1965, Dr. Richard Kittler architect from The Slovak Academy of Science presented his explanation and his formula at CIE conference in …

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
The current research tries to explore the bases of establishing "The excitement phenomena" through 'Olor scheme articulations. Basically, the phenomena is influenced, presumably by structural and meaningful principles of articulations in the interior spaces. To tackle the research problem, three proposed models for esthetical interior spaces were chosen a a research settings. Also, virtual color articulation patterns were established, to select the most satisfactory, to achieve excitement Quasi- experimental method was adopted, depending on, gestalt theory of perception, analytical-descriptive st dy method, and a questioner as a method of testing. Fifty types of color articulations for each of 3 models, …

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Architecture today aims to achieve poetics and eloquence in the architectural form, through which the pluralism and enrichment of meanings is achieved, and which achieves the involvement of the recipient in the creative process and his participation in the production of the text. In this case, the recipient will create bridges between the elements of the presence and the elements Absence and the text continues to acquire meanings and meanings as long as we have something to provide it with, and its meanings are only implemented by the limits of the reader’s experience and imagination. This research came to clarify …

Complexity In Urban Environment, Sanaa Sati Abbas, Sahar Hilal Abdul Rida Al-Dujaili
Complexity In Urban Environment, Sanaa Sati Abbas, Sahar Hilal Abdul Rida Al-Dujaili
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Complexity is considered a design characteristic in the urban environment, representing a special case of environmental preference. Many studies link the concept of complexity to two fundamental concepts: ambiguity and contradiction. Therefore, this research aims first to distinguish between complexity and these two concepts at the urban level. Urban environments possess desirable levels of complexity, and their deficiency or excess can cause numerous environmental and psychological problems. Furthermore, complexity in the urban environment is linked to two key factors: observable and measurable differences and the speed of movement. Although complexity is necessary, it can cause a kind of disorientation and …

The Prototypes Of The Concepts Of Game Phenomenon In Contemporary Architecture, Akram Jassim Alakkam, Dalia Ghassan Fattah
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
There have been many points of view set to explain games. Some of which include the old theories whose foundation was created on a philosophical meditative base and have been achieved through the physiological theories (as the surplus energy theory and the relaxation theory), the biological theories (as the recapitulation theory and the pre-exercise theory), and the abreaction theory. These theories have paved the way for the current psychological theories that are meant to explain games on scientific studies and empirical researches.lt is possible to summarize these theories by the theory of Gestalt, the theory of Piaget.

Architecture In Enrichment :An Explorative Study Of The Formal Enrichment Achieved By Contrast, Asma Hasan Taha Al Dabbagh
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Architectural literatures and practices presented the concept of Enrichment as one of the solutions for the problems of Modemism. The importance of this concept emerges due to its relation with other phenomena like visual complexity and ambiguity. Enrichment is a product character and a strategy to its creation. This product possess abundance and detail in the visual tools causing the meaning nrichment and its readiness for multi interpretations. This concept is present in to two levels; the first, formal and includes complexity and riddles, while the second is moral which includes the multiinterpretations. These sub-concepts cover many tools to achieve …

Strangeness In Contemporary Architecture As A Strategy, Khalil Ibrahim Ali, Emad Abd Al Hameed, Abbas Ali Hamza Al Greiza
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Throrgh the last four decades of the 20th Century, architecture, as a language, was studied in various directions, which were concemed either with meaning, or with expressive methods. Both directions aimed to enrich it with meaning and significance; which are contradictory and harmonious. To accomplish continuity between architecture and the receiver in the social order, design strategies utilized other fields ol knowledge such as literature, linguistics or sociology... etc. Which merged the two directions. From these, strangeness and differences were realized and studied in this paper.
